In today’s fast-paced, digital age, the pocket watch is more than ever a symbol of classic taste. C. 1900, people did not carry them loosely in their vest pockets but secured them with a chain—not least to prevent them from falling out and to protect them from damage. These chains were far more than mere accessories. As the only visible element, they represented the hidden watch and were accordingly designed to be magnificent and crafted with great care. This watch chain is made entirely of gold, specifically in that warm, reddish alloy characteristic of many pieces from that era. Its design displays remarkable originality. Instead of one of the common patterns, such as the curb or Figaro chain, we find here a free, imaginative design: long, oval links are connected by finely polished rings, giving the chain a light, almost swaying effect. A lobster clasp is used to attach it to the watch, while a large spring ring allows the chain to be fastened to a vest. The well-preserved chain came to us from Hamburg and retains its special character to this day.
